All Pacific Coast Cities Dis

Visit of Vagrant Aurora
Last Night.
TELEPHONE SERVICE
BADLY INTERRUPTED
Phenomenon is Plainly Vis
ible as Fax South As
Mexican Border
The aurora borealls almost put
the Statesman's AsKociated Press
wire out of commission last night,
and cut down the regular niht
news report by several thousand
words. The wires of the local tel
egiaph offices were affected.
PORTLAND. Ore., May 14.
Effects of the aurora boreal in
were pronounced on electric wires
of all kinds here tonight. Tele
graph and telephone service was
badly interrupted at times. Wires
to the north and ea3t were mainly
affected, serv.ee southward seem
ing to suffer but little.
SAN FRANCISCO, May 14.
Tho vagrant aurora borealis paid
a startling visit to the Pacific
coast tonight, being visible as far
south as the Mexican border for
the first time in the memory of
old residents, completely isolated
the region from the eastern por
tion of the United States by dis
rupting all telegraph communica
tion and sent residents of the
southern Pacific coast section
flocking to the roofs of tkyscrap
.Dg buildings for tbeir first view
ot the sky splendor-
Visible Fur South.
The borealis or northern
lights, supposedly due, according
to scientists, to electro-magnetic
influences in the rare upper atmosphere-
was seen plainly, ac
cording to reports, at San Diego
and several points surrounding
that city, Los Angeles, San Ber
nardino, Stockton and other
points. At Boulevard, a small
mountain town between San Die$:o
and the Imperial valley, near the
Mexican valley, reports were that
it was an exceptionally brilliant
spectacle.
All telegraph companies report
ed their facilities prostrated from
the coast eastward. Communica
tion was maintained up and down
the coast, but all efforts to turn
the lines of communication toward
the east were unavailing.
Radio Untouched
The radio particularly sus
ceptible to atmospheric disturb
anaces remained singularly un
touched by the magnetic Influen
ces responsible for the lights. The
navy and other wireless operators
reported the atmosphere compara
tively free of static troubles.
The appearance of the phenom
enon in California resulted in sev
eral rumors of earth-destruction.
At Kingsburg, Cal., reports were
circulated that the air was filled

charged with murder, and I ain't
sayin' a word. You bum beller

These were the mildest things
that one of the other contemptu
ous petty larceny prisoners said
to the late H. Sugarman, low
Louie Zukerman, as he held his
head in the Salem jail and groan
ed aloud over the miseries that
had come upon bim. The police
had to drag the contemptuously
game critic off to another cell and
let Zukerman groan in peace.
Zukemian's trunk that he had
shipped on to San Francisco,
came back last night, i t the tele
graph ordors of the police. It is
some trunk; no wonder-it was in
sured for $750. It was the In
surance receipt that gave It away.
The trunk contains bolts and
bales of the finest silk's; silk
waists marked up to $40 apiec
and other valuables that bring the
total value up to an estimated
$2000, or even more.
Zucherman asked to have the
trunk shipped back to his wifa.

unfortunately they couldn't

the letters that are to go out all

Zurkerman's story Is that his
partner, one Cohen, left him in
Portland, telling him to stop off
at Salem to pick up a little loose
change.
' Salem Is easy," Cohen is said
I to have advised; "you can pick
em In about an hour and then

handed to the Statesman yesterday relative to the opera

The judge replies to the Journal editor in scathing terms
because of the latter's criticism of the court in bringing in
outside officers to quH the moonshiners. He calls the local
officers "impotent." fHe charges that they have failed to
live up to pre-election promises. He goes further with the
startling assertion that some of the officers "tipped off the
